I am proud to say that I know a decent amount about Icelandic pronunciation despite not being able to speak it! This is entirely because Skálmöld songs are really fun to sing along to so I memorised the soinds of a few of them

I didn’t go to the one they recorded in 2013 but they did it again in 2018 with songs from Með Vættum, Vögguvísur Yggdrasils, and Sorgir and it was amazing.

And you didn’t have the guts to put the ð in your username?

Honestly, it didn’t even occur to me to see if it would let me.
It could have been a fun way to trigger bugs in random fediberse software 😁
